The asterisked medicinals (second list) are derived from animals /

animal parts. Some or all of those may be unacceptable ethically (or on

other grounds) to some professionals.

 

Do you know of a more up-to-date list, backed officially by Chinese

Government?

 

It is clear that the (1981) list omits many powerful medicinals, such as

Chaihu-Rx Bupleuri falcati/sinensis/scorzoneraefolii, Hongjingtian-Rx

Rhosiolae sacrae/roseae, Qinghao-Hb Artemisiae annuae etc but we

should note well the top 32 medicinals of TCM.
